Gunbuster

Gunbuster, known in Japan asAim for the Top!(トップをねらえ!, Top O Nerae!) is a six episode anime OVA series created by Gainax in 1988. It was the directional debut of Hideaki Anno, who is best known for his role as the director of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The title is a parody of the classic tennis anime Aim for the Ace!.

Bome is a Japanese sculptor who is well known in the anime girl figure scene. Originally making garage kits, he now works with Kaiyodo who was then even given his own line called the “Monsieur Bome Collection” which includes figures from various anime, video games and even original characters. Vol.18 in the series is Noriko Takaya, the main heroine from the late 80’s OVA Aim For The Top! Gunbuster by the well known anime studio Gainax. On the back of the card (Bome’s figures come on cards and not boxes like other anime figurines) reads this blurb in English.
